[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 17th that it has been promoting the ‘Visiting Youth Policy Meeting’ for two months from July to August to discover customized youth policies that meet the needs and demands of young people.


The meeting targeted about 40 people, including companies and youth currently receiving youth policy support, and youth public officials at the county office. It was conducted in five areas: employment, cultural welfare, job seeking and start-up, youth rights participation, resulting in the discovery of a total of 56 youth policies.


By area, in employment, there were 10 cases including support for application fees when small and medium-sized enterprises hire new employees; in cultural welfare, 23 cases including support for establishing corporate culture; in job seeking and start-up, 15 cases including support for acquiring certifications; and in youth rights participation, 5 cases including providing social activity opportunities linked to specialized fields for young people returning to farming.


The county plans to select 8 outstanding policies by area from these policies, gather detailed suggestions and opinions through the Muan-gun Youth Council and subcommittees, and reflect them in the 2021 youth job policies.


Additionally, the ‘One-person Media Studio’ proposed at last year’s youth policy meeting will be established at the Youth Center and is scheduled to operate in October. Through the Jeonnam-type Companion Job Project’s media training course, 16 YouTubers were trained.



Governor Kim San stated, “We will continue to listen to the voices of young people, who are the main actors of the local community, and discover support policies that practically improve their lives. We will actively support young people in Muan, where there are various possibilities, so that they can confidently grow while realizing their dreams.”
